Pros

Large scope of different projects for different technologies. Everyone can find his/her project.

Salary level is good, but only for those with great experience. Because the company is not outsourcing, it has standard values that depend on experience and grow about 10-20 percent per year.

If you are motivated to visit South Korea, learn the language, or find a job there, Samsung provides a high possibility of having 3-50 day business trips to HQ. Almost every employee who has worked there for more than 1-2 years has been here at least once.

Once you have a creative idea, you can easily promote it and even get a project and budget to develop it. The company seeks new innovative ways and always supports those who can propose something.

Large number of perks, which is not usual for Ukraine.

  • Every half year, bonuses (approximately 1-2 months' salary) for everyone.
  • Samsung devices are awarded to the most motivated employees at the New Year's party.
  • Big corporate events 3-4 times a year.
Cons

For a person who just finished university, or has 2-3 years of employment, it is easier to find a relative job in another company besides Samsung.

Once employed, even if you have a great position and growth, don't expect relative revenue increases. Samsung is a big Asian company with old traditions. It provides employees the possibility to work over their lifetime and schedules your standard yearly growth.
